# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
04 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the dough.
06 - Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly using your hand or the bottom of a glass.
07 - Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges turn lightly golden. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Optionally, divide and tint with food coloring.
09 - Drizzle icing over cooled cookies with a spoon or piping bag. Let icing set fully before serving.
